Congrats. The header got your attention.

Now let me explain myself for my own sake.

(I’m talking to atheists/agnostics here, because most theistic religions acknowledge women as 2nd class (you might say you don’t, but look at your book again.) )

My question is not really Should they. My question is does it matter if men or women dominate over the other?

Does it matter if women or men are treated as below the other?

Let’s look at Spiders. Sucks to be the guy in most species. She eats your for your fertility. To me, men are second class in that instance.

Now let’s say spiders evolved to our intellectual level. Sure, they might evolve out of their own life sustaining method that involves killing the men, but the chances of that are low. Why are they low? The men consent, the women consent, everyone is OK with it.

Let’s bring it back to mammals. When is the last time you’ve seen a female gorilla lead the pack, or a lioness call out the shots? Yeah, sure, they have their respectable rights between their polygamous “husband” and cubs, but ever a situation of absolute authority?

BTW - We’re not talking about equality as in capability, we speak of it as in authority.

I don’t have a problem with women wanting equal authority as men. My problem is that both sides aren’t in agreement (whether consciously or subconsciously)

The modern ideal solution is to make everyone perceive that women and men are equal.

The sad truth is, our genetics produce TWO separate types of people. These genetics structure the psychology and anatomy of both women and men. ON TOP of the propaganda for gender roles, genetics install some basic protocols for what is valued in a mate.

As bastard-tastic as this sounds

We can do this the hard way… or the easy way…

Hardway:

confuse our communities perceptions by putting men in the exact same positions as women for men  and vice versa.  If you want true equality, you’ll have to conquer genetics and the natural desires that come along with it.

I wish to not see the day in which I am called a sexist for loving women over a men.

You might think that is bizarre to fear, but to pursue TRUE-er equality, you’ll have to make men and women see men and women the same, because those natural desires are also tied to natural expectations from the other sex. Expectations that when fulfilled hold different values from each side (in this case the fulfilled stereotypical expectations of women have less importance than that of men ( ex: strip-club-champ(female) vs small-business-owner(male) ) )

Easyway:

Stop saying it is evil/pathetic/low-life-like to be a housewife.

It’s the fact that this is TAUGHT, that it has become an issue.

Let women do what they feel, the only people who are going to care about statistics are those who are insecure with their own happiness.

Don’t push INDOCTRINATE others according to your way to happiness, just communicate when you are happy and if needed discuss contradicting life ways.

I didn’t say de-thrown women in power, I said don’t force them to take a thrown they never wanted before you interfered. (sadly, I can’t say this enough and someone will still make an ignorant comment)

So. my question is to you. Should we struggle for equality, or just let the flow flow as it goes?
